Chapter 73 Hidden Secrets
Jiang Guo knew from the beginning that some people regarded the bookstore as some kind of offline intelligence exchange place, but he didn't know the specific form and content of the intelligence entrustment. Even through the power of God's Eye, he could only lock in a certain special
Information...
He was once the "grey man" of the Privy Council. Even though he has now left this organization, he can still use a considerable degree of power.
The collection of books in Yunhai Bookstore is really too large, and the power of the Eye of God is limited. If he spends his power on identifying relevant intelligence sources within the bookstore, it will obviously be more than worth the gain, so he chooses to wait and see.
Fortunately... the other party was a little impatient, so Jiang Guo only waited for a short while before catching this big fish.
Holding the copy of "The Heroes of the Three Kingdoms" in his hand, Jiang Guo looked very relaxed.
Although they only had contact for a moment, he already had a rough idea - this guy's identity was unknown, but he was definitely a rice wife. And as a rice wife, why would he travel thousands of miles to Liyue to do such a thing?
According to intelligence, the person who exchanged information with him was the informant of the "Black Panther" pirate group within Liyue Port.
The identity of this informant was so well hidden that even if all the "black-clad" Privy Council members were dispatched, they would not be able to detect the slightest clue... Apart from anything else, this man is definitely a top-notch agent.
But Jiang Guo shouldn't worry about those troubles. After getting this thing, as long as it is handed over to the people in the Privy Council later, his mission will be completely over.
...
At the same time, there was also some turmoil in Inazuma City.
There was still about a week before Yaedo publicly announced the opening of a large-scale art exchange meeting. At this time, there was a huge flow of people in Inazuma Castle, and almost everyone took this art exchange meeting as a signal.
In particular, the people of the Third Principle, they specially sent extra manpower and arranged a lot of people at various traffic arteries just to avoid any accidents that day.
Speaking of which, apart from the Kamisato family represented by the Kamisato family, the other two families seemed to be more or less hesitant, as if they were worried about something happening.
Kujo Takayuki, the head of the Kujo clan who is especially in charge of Tenlord's rule, his somewhat restrained actions made everyone feel a little strange.
Even ordinary people were aware of this very small but obvious move. If the shogunate Kujo Sora hadn't carried out his official duties in a very tough way, some rumors would have spread on a large scale.
However, even so, some strange rumors are gradually spreading in Inazuma Castle.
In this regard, Kamisato Ayato, the contemporary head of the Kamisato family and Inazuma's social minister, publicly stated: The three factions have always lived in harmony, and the fundamental purpose of everything is to implement the Shogun's philosophy, so there is no contradiction.
As soon as these words came out, the rumors in Inazuma Castle began to ease.
Generally speaking, today's Inazuma people only pay attention to three things.
The order to lock down the country was followed three times and the rebels resisted.
As for the Eye Hunting Order... In fact, in the entire Inazuma, the number of people with the Eye of God is not very large, so this thing did not cause much turmoil among the people of Inazuma.
As for the above three points... what is interesting is that the cultural exchange meeting to be held by Yachengtang this time perfectly brings together these three points of public concern.
The Lockdown Order, this is the first time since the General changed the Lockdown Order that an influential force has publicly used it to hold an event, which naturally attracted a lot of people's attention.
Due to the special nature of Yae Kamiko, the owner of Yaedo, the security management of this event will be taken over by San Hogyo himself, which has attracted widespread attention from the people. After all, this is a long-lost cooperation between the three Shogyo families.
The resistance... This is what surprised the people the most - Yae Kamiko actually invited the leader of the resistance, Komiya Shinkai, as a cultural guest!
You must know that the war between the resistance army and the shogunate army has not stopped yet. It is impossible no matter how you think about inviting the leader of the other party at this time.
What's more important is that Coral Palace Xinhai, who is far away on Haiqi Island, actually agreed to the invitation and will go to Daozuma City with the artists from Mondstadt and Liyue.
The news of one incident after another immediately ignited the people of Daozhu who had been silent for many years due to the national lockdown. They all paid close attention to this cultural exchange meeting. Although they knew nothing, they always had a feeling.
This so-called cultural exchange meeting will completely change Inazuma's current situation.
...
Narukami Taisha Shrine, under the sacred cherry tree.
Yae Shenzi stood under the big tree with his eyes closed, seemingly performing some kind of ritual.
Behind her, a handsome and elegant man also closed his eyes and followed the palace minister in the ceremony.
At this moment, there was no one around them, and the witches who were originally going to stay here were dismissed early.
Just looking at it, it looked like some kind of very secret meeting.
"..."
A few more minutes passed. Yae Shenzi waved his hand gently, and a few wisps of pale aura emerged from the surroundings and floated into the sacred cherry tree.
"Ayato, have you completed the work of the shrine? Why do you have time to come to my Narukami Taisha Shrine today?"
After the ceremony, Yae Shenzi turned around slightly, smiled and said.
"Miyaji-sama, you are joking. The work carried out by the company has always been related to Miyagi-sama. How dare Ayato abandon all matters and do useless things."
Kamisato Ayato has a gentle smile, and his behavior is perfect, and no one can find a single fault.
"Oh...you've always been like this."
Seeing the other party's posture, Yae Shenzi smiled for a moment, and then said helplessly: "In that case, let's talk about it?"
Although communicating with a smart person like Ayato Kamisato is very efficient, sometimes it makes her feel very uncomfortable...
"To be honest, what I want to mention today is actually about the cultural exchange meeting..."
Kamisato Ayato still maintained his flawless posture and spoke in a neither humble nor arrogant tone: "After discussions between the editors of the Society and Yaedo, since it is not appropriate for Master "Tasho Koji" to come forward in person, we recommend the great masters of Jean Mond and Liyue.
Writer Mr. Ningzhe attended this exchange meeting."
"The great writer Stephen King from Mondstadt and the great writer Ning Zhe from Liyue are the same person. Adding the two together, even if Inazuma's popularity is not as good as that of Master "Tasoko Koji", they are still equal in weight."
When he suddenly heard Ayato Kamisato mention Ningzhe, Yae Kamiko didn't show the slightest doubt.
Of course she knew that Ningzhe had a very good relationship with the Shenli family when she was in Inazuma. After all, she signed and published the book "About My Marrying into the Shenli Family" with her own hands.
"I have also heard about that writer...yes, a very good suggestion. As you said, include him in our invitation range. Considering his size and the highest level, it is not an exaggeration."
With almost no thought, Yae Shenzi nodded lightly and agreed to the matter in a nonchalant manner.
"good."
Kamisato Ayato also nodded very simply. The two of them seemed to be singing a double yellow, and the conversation flowed as if they had been rehearsed in advance.
And what's interesting is that neither of them has even considered one thing: Will Ningzhe himself be willing to accept the invitation?
It seems that they are all very sure that as long as the invitation is sent out, Ningzhe will come.
Hmm...well, that seems to be the case.
"There are still things to do in the service, so I will go back to Inazuma City first..."
The goal was achieved, Kamisato Ayato spoke in a gentle tone.
Yae Kamiko just waved his hand, smiled and nodded, and they were very harmonious from beginning to end. The two of them were like good friends who had known each other for many years.
It wasn't until Ayato completely disappeared from sight that Yae Kamiko's smile disappeared.
"Haha... This guy is really smart. I was going to announce the news later, but he came to discuss it with me early..."
Shaking his head slightly, Yae Shenzi turned his eyes to the sacred cherry tree again.
This time it's not just Ningzhe... there's also a traveler who's enough to make waves...
